Adam Baxter

Director, Producer, and Storytelling Visionary

Location icon Los Angeles, CA, USA

About

I am a director and producer based in Los Angeles, CA, passionate about sharing stories of triumph through film, television, and branded content. My debut feature film, Your Lucky Day, received a theatrical release in November 2023 and is now available on Amazon. Currently, I am working on Citizen Runner, a documentary series set to inspire amateur runners worldwide, with a 2024 release. With a proven track record in producing high-end commercials and music videos for iconic brands and artists, including Wendy’s Super Bowl ad “Cold Storage,” Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball,” and David Bowie’s “Lazarus,” I excel in combining creative vision with production excellence. Driven by optimism and the belief that hard work pays off, I thrive on telling stories that inspire and connect. When I’m not creating compelling visuals, I’m channeling my energy as a marathoner and triathlete, always seeking my next challenge.
